    The 1904 photograph from 'The Garden' shows unopened buds somewhat distorted or shrivelled-looking in appearance. If this was usual for this rose it might help in identifying it, if it still exists unidentified somewhere. Does this feature ring a bell with anyone familiar with foundlings? Also the leaves and stems are rather shiny.

    Is this rose extinct? I'm collecting noisettes and would love to know a source for this one.

    Ten years on, refer to "Juani de Temperley"' an Argentina foundling.

    From the Rosen-Zeitung 1892, page 79: Under the heading Favourite Roses, by Ketten Bros, Luxembourg.

    "Lieblingsrosen ...

    L'Idéal (Nabonnand 1888): Blume metallischgelb und rot, schattiert und verwaschen mit blendend goldgelb;"

    My translation:
